- Merchant was lead singer and primary lyricist for 10,000 Maniacs, joining in its infancy in 1981 while she was a student at Jamestown Community College. The group recorded their album Human Conflict Number Five. Merchant sang lead vocals, and later played the piano as well on seven studio albums with 10,000 Maniacs. In 1993 she announced that she was leaving the group. Her last recording with the band, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's and Patti Smith's "Because the Night" at the 10,000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged performance, reached #11 on the Hot 100 chart on February 18, 1994: becoming the band's highest-charting song in the U.S.
Tigerlily was a critical and commercial success, spawning her first top-ten hit in the single "Carnival", and achieving top-40 success with subsequent singles "Wonder" and "Jealousy". The album would go on to sell over five million copies and continues to be Merchant's most successful album to date.
Still one of the best songwriters and voices of all time
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I agree, hands down. Thanks for watching.
Natalie's songwriting and lyrics will live with me forever. Haunting, an
Angelic voice. VERDI CRIES IS MY FAVORITE!!
She is one of the very best!
Verdi Cries is a excellent song. Katrina's fair mesmerizes me.
OMGosh. Same here!!!
Natalie Merchant never ceases to amaze!!
We turn both turn 60 in a few weeks! I can't believe time has flown so fast. I love Natalie Merchant. She's gorgeous. ♥️ The 90s was a glorious time for music and being young(er).
This past weekend I was at an arboretum spreading my sister's ashes. It was a private ceremony. The owner glanced over at the entrance gate and saw a woman with long hair. She said oh, my neighbor "Natalie" is stopping by. I think Natalie just wanted to walk the grounds since it was a spectacular summer evening. Of course she didn't know my family was there. She was a bit surprised to see the gathering but greeted each of us with a gentle smile. I last saw her some 40 years ago when she was in her twenties. Seeing her now you can't help but recognize those dark expressive eyes. We asked her to stay for some pizza but she politely declined and quietly walked away. It was such a surreal moment.
What a great story, of course I’m a very big fan! Thanks so much for sharing!
She looked great but you can tell she is a very private person. None of the twenty year olds in the family knew who she was so we had to play some of her songs..LOL!@@SoundbiteBio
What an experience! In 1988 I was SOOOO in love with Her! I was 16 years old. At 50 1/2 years old in 2023; I have NEVER fallen out of Love with Natalie. I maybe more so now.
